Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe downside is also the upside, there is a bar directly opposite where currently moored, which is lively until at least midnight. Very convenient and there's so much nearby, but not entirely tranquil if that's what you'd imagined!
Good experience overall, with excellent communication from the host. Good standard of cleanliness and facilities. The location is unbelievably convenient - so close to main station, bars and restaurants, and the canal area is great. There was an unexpected cycling festival nearby when we stayed!

United KingdomWe had such a cosy and cute stay on the narrowboat! Check in was easy, and all necessities were explained to us clearly. The log fire was so comforting it was easy to forget that it was a cold February night. The location was perfect for exploring the city, being very close to Kings Cross station

United KingdomThe boat is a little run down. There was a storm when we were there and the windows leaked quite a bit which meant some of our stuff got wet. The shower also flooded and did not drain when we were there so only one of us was able to shower. All the sockets also stopped working during our stay also so we could not charge our phones.
Location is amazing. Host was very accommodating and contactable during the stay-even arranging for Prosecco to be left as it was my partners birthday. The boat was very clean and the wood log burner is a fabulous touch, we loved it.

United KingdomTook a bit of time getting used to being back to basics. Like another review - bit like towing caravan facilities (which I’d never experienced). But it is a genuine narrow boat experience- with all that entails : ) A little pricey - but I feel you are paying for the experience and location.
Once I got the stove burning - it felt magical. Living the London life I’ve seen in films - just me and my dog. Fabulous location. Walking distance to Kings Cross Station and the rest of London. And scenic walk to Camden. Stayed 2 nights - but could have stayed longer!

Czech RepublicWe would welcome a coat rack and an ax for wood :-) The bed was too soft for us.
Romantic, beautiful and experiential living in the center of London on the water offers the opportunity to enjoy the big city in a slightly different way. Nothing will surprise caravanners here. Everything is functional, shower, toilet, hot water. We would love to come back next time we visit London.

United KingdomUnfortunately there was no hot water as the tank had been broken by previous guests but as we were only there for one night it was cope able for us. Although the main bed was very comfy the second bed which is a sofa bed wasn't. It was very hard and although a spare duvet was left to lay on as well as the main cover duvet (which was super snuggly) it wasn't enough. There really needs to be something extra to lay on the mattress for comfort.
This was lovely, very clean and tidy. In a lovely position. Annabelle, the owner met me on arrival and showed me how everything worked. She was lovely and helpful and couldn't do enough. The fireplace was so pretty, it was actually a shame we didn't need it in the end

United KingdomRained in a bit during the bad weather so had to keep things away from the windows. Insect repellent might be a good recommendation, wish I’d taken some DEET.
Brilliant location. Very friendly and welcoming host met us on arrival and kept in touch throughout the stay. Fresh flowers in the narrow boat was a nice touch. Felt safe & secure with night-time patrols.

United KingdomNone of the plug sockets worked (except for one USB plug), meaning no fridge is provided and the mattress sloped. The boat looked 'tired' and a number of minor repairs are required.
The sheets on the bed were clean. Toiletries and tea, coffee and sugar were provided.

United KingdomWe ended up not staying at the property despite booking and paying for it and had the extra expense of booking alternative accommodation as when we arrived the bed looked as if it had been slept in and the sheets had dog foot prints over them. It didn’t look as if it had been cleaned particularly well either. The water heater looked as if it leaked as there was a bowl underneath it which was already full of water when we arrived. We were sent location and access instructions to the boat (the main entrance door which is left unlocked) at before 5am on the morning of the booking via WhatsApp. Payment had been taken a significant number of days earlier than the booking and yet instructions were not provided at that point. Strangely the owners arrived unannounced shortly after we had arrived and despite us saying that we had found it necessary to rebook alternative accommodation because of the state and cleanliness of the bed they have not been in contact since and have made no attempt to provide any sort of refund, either full or partial.
Location. Well situated in Coal Drop Yard in Kings Cross.
